Personal Knowledge

Three weeks ago you were summoned to the private chambers of High Priest Gancenor, a rare occurrence. "You have recovered well I see." Gancenor, in his middle years, is still a strong imposing presence, "I have a mission for you. As you are no doubt aware we are ostensibly at peace with the Free Isles since the so-called War of Independence 35 years ago and normal diplomatic and trade relationships have restarted. This includes the presence of a small number of Hospitalers of Solaris in their capital, Safeharbour. We have become aware of a strong rumour that the leader of the Free Isles, the First as he is known, has gone missing. Some of the rumours say that he has been kidnapped by agents of Bormaris; this is not true. Others that he has been taken by powers linked to the nation of Doralin, this is possible but unlikely. It seems that a party of adventurers with ties to the Free Isles government have been searching for him and have a powerful artefact to give him. If this artefact comes into the possession of the First it will set back our plans for the re-conquest of the Free Isles greatly. We need you to infiltrate this band of adventurers and make sure that the artefact never comes into the possession of the First. We have developed close ties to the church of Koryis and as one of the adventurers is a dwarven cleric of that Immortal you should find getting close to him fairly simple. In any case, here is a letter with a seal of the high priest introducing you if you should need it." Gancenor sits back in his chair and steeples his fingers in front of his chin. "Do you have any questions Brother?"
You are then shown to the crypt where Brother Quercus shows you a selection of magical items which you can choose to take with you.
The following day you are taken aboard one of the order's ships for the journey to Safeharbour. You have spent the past few days in Safeharbour acclimatising yourself. Agents of the order have discovered that the adventurers you seek are staying in an inn called The Swan and have recently been joined by an elven mage of which little is known.

The Dream in the Howe

"The skies are darkening Brother.” You stand atop of a tower that rotates slowly giving you wonderful views of a verdant valley far below, “Could it be the devices of the gnomes that have made our lives so wonderful here are drawing the power from the very stars themselves?” You look up at the giant standing beside you, her long red hair blowing in the breeze. “Some of us have not trusted them for some time. We brought you here to have you ask your patron Solarios for guidance.” You shake your head and walk away leaving her looking out across the valley.
